WEBVTT - Opportunity For Peace - March 3rd, Hour 1 0:00:01.320 --> 0:00:03.360 All right, Thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:06.320 of you for being with us. Right down our toll 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.280 free telephone number if you want to be a part 0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.760 of the program, it is eight hundred and ninety four 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.319 one Sean if you'd like to join us. And we 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:18.440 are in the Washington Swamp once again. We are in DC. 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.319 We're in the sewer. We're going to be here for 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:27.760 two days. We will have an exclusive interview tonight with JD. 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:32.280 Vance on his first tan knowledge of everything that went 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:37.360 down with Zolenski on Friday. The President's been talking about 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.919 it today as well, and President's strategy. The fact that 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.000 the media doesn't understand him or want to understand him 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:49.120 is very predictable, but it is unforgivable at this point 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:54.360 in my view, because they don't want to understand him. 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:56.959 They don't understand what's going on in Ukraine, they don't 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.480 understand what's going on in Israel, they don't understand the 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.920 Middle East, and their level of ignorance is it's flabbergasting 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.240 on many, many levels, too many to even get into it, 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.800 to be honest with you, and it's it's kind of 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.319 a sad thing that happened, but let me give you 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.400 where I think this is going to go, so maybe 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.160 to give you some hope, and I think it's going 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.160 to end this way. I think so Lindsey's coming back, 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:26.120 maybe sooner, maybe later. He actually made the ridiculous statement 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.120 today that he thinks that this war is going to 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.759 go on for years. Well if he believes that, then 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.160 he has to believe that the funding for this war 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:40.160 is going to continue. And at the United States. Maybe 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.920 nobody told him, but there's a new sheriff in town, 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.280 and this sheriff wants an end to the destruction and 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.600 the death that has taken over Europe and his country. 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.040 And if it does go on for years, there's not 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:59.080 going to be a country that is worthy to be saved. 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.320 And I'm watching all these European leaders now following the 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.560 footsteps of Joe Biden. Joe Biden, JD. Vans was right. 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.600 He pounded his chest and calling Putin names, and how 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.799 did that stop Vladimir Putin? It didn't do a thing. 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.280 And the best solution at this point, because Americans are 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.440 not going to spend hundreds of millions more dollars in 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:25.279 the next year with nearly forty trillion dollars in debt 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.160 to fund the war that Zelenski wants to fight with 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.440 our money, because that's where we are with this, and 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:36.080 the best case scenario for him, and this was this 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.160 was a three part deal. Part one should have been 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:40.920 on Friday, and we have a lot of behind the 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.720 scenes details that we'll give you in the course of 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.160 this hour. Part one was to sign the rarer mineral 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:50.840 deals that would have benefited Ukraine for two reasons. One, 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.360 it would have ensured a business relationship and a US 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:59.200 presence in Ukraine likely for decades to come. And two, 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.760 American technology would have been used to extract the minerals, 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.040 which would give them, you know, billions and billions of 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:11.000 dollars to build back their country, which would have been 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:16.000 a huge financial benefit for everybody involved. The President already 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.920 said that he was open to the idea of European 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:24.839 troops when he would talked to Emmanuel McCrone. He said 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.280 to Macron that he's fine if European troops want to 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.520 be on the ground, He's okay with that. And I'm watching, 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.239 you know, Europe and their emergency meeting and the UK 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:38.840 Prime Minister laying out a peace deal framework and welcoming 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:43.040 Zelenski with open You're always welcome here. I'm like, fine, 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.760 if Europe wants to if they want to continue to 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.120 fund this war against Russia and not come to a 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.880 negotiated settlement, that would have been phase three. Phase one 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.840 is the mineral deal. Phase two is a ceasefire. Phase 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.480 three is a negotiated settlement. That negotiated settlement, as I 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.720 said to my interview with Zelensky a number of weeks 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.119 back would include the rare Earth mineral deal to pay 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:10.040 back the United States and also ensure an American presence 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.520 there that would help them in terms of their country security. 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.760 That and number two, a ceasefire that would be very 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:21.080 good for them right now because they don't have the manpower, 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.880 and they don't have the weaponry, and they don't even 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.560 have the prospects of drafting any people because they're now 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.640 you know, they they're now forcing forty five year old 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.120 men into the battlefield, and I doubt most forty five 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.240 year old men can fight like twenty and twenty five 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:40.640 year old guys and at that age an unexpected war. 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.480 So Europe can you know, criticize the US and act 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.000 like they're the biggest Ukraine supporters of all time, and 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.080 meanwhile it was the US that paid the bulk of 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.080 the freight. The way Joe Biden set this up and 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:57.400 Harris set this up, is this war starts, he's putin's 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:01.680 of massing troops on the border. Biden's asked, well, you 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.359 know what's going to happen if he invades. Most people 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.200 were predicting he's not going to evade him, like that 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.760 was the dumbest analysis at the time I'd ever heard. 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.000 Of course, he was planning on invade, on invading. Did 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.799 you not remember the annexation of Crimean what twenty thirteen 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.359 or fourteen, whatever year that occurred. You got to be 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.680 pretty dumb, naive and stupid not to think that he 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.719 was gonna invade after amassing all these troops along the 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:29.000 Ukrainian border. Well, it depends if it's a minor incursion. 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.520 A minor incursion. What is a minor incursion? That means, well, 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:34.919 we'll let him go in a little bit and we 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.919 will be okay with that if it's a minor incursion, 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.920 and then you know, then he starts with the handcuffs 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.560 on Zolenski. At the beginning of the conflict, no, Poland 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.200 can't give twenty eight megs. No, you can't use cluster bombs. 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.200 And by the time Biden's leaving office, he's giving Zolensky 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.720 ballistic missiles that can reach Russia, and he's firing those 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:59.839 ballistic missiles into Russia, which did raise the possibility or 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.320 greater possibility of the potential of a World War III situation, 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.400 because Vladimir Putin responded by changing their nuclear policy to 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.040 say that any country that fires ballistic missiles into their 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:14.120 country is now they're now able to nuke them in response. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.320 Great job, Joe, on top of the hundreds of billions 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.960 of dollars that you spent. Lindsey Graham, I love Lindsey 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:26.279 Graham was absolutely apoplectic, and he's been a big supporter 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:30.680 of Zelensky, but he also sees an opportunity here for peace. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.960 And then he tore into European leaders rallying behind Zelensky. 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.839 Be my guest, Europe, you want to defend Ukraine from Putin, 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.359 you go right ahead, he said, He said, less than 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.880 twenty four hours, and which is the right position to 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:49.560 be in? Now? All this said, I still think that 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.960 Zelensky will be back, and I think it's going to 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.720 be sooner than later, because at some point reality is 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.320 going to kick in. It clearly didn't kick in by 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.240 the time he went on Brett Bear Show on Friday night. 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.720 We have Brettbahar on Friday night. It didn't kick in 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:07.320 any point over the weekend. Although I do have sources, 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.840 I have very good sources, better sources than the state 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:15.440 run legacy medium on which is dead. Zelensky has been 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:23.280 reaching out repeatedly to President Trump directly and his team directly, 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:29.000 asking to come back and make this right. So hence 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:34.000 my knowledgeable prediction, putting two and two together A squared 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:37.080 B square equals C squared. I believe that Zelensky will 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:41.640 be back now this afternoon. The President's holding a meeting 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.280 on the next steps regarding the crisis with Ukraine, including 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:49.720 the possible suspension of US military aid, according to US 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:54.640 official with knowledge of the meeting. According to Axios, and 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.760 suspending military aid would damage Ukraine's ability to defend itself 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.720 against Russia's invasion, and I think it would also had 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.960 the would have the added impact of bringing Zelensky back 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.400 to the table. But he's got to come back with 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:14.080 realistic expectations here if he wants this war, as he 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.680 said today, this war is going to continue for years. 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.120 If it continues for years, you don't have to have 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:25.360 a HAVED or MIT degree to figure out there's not 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.680 going to be a country left. It is going to 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.480 be annihilated. It is going to be destroyed. There's going 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.120 to be more refugees, There's going to be death and destruction. 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.120 You know, I noticed JD Van so I'll have on 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.440 Hannity tonight was forced to move his family to an 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.559 undisclosed location because he had hundreds of pro Ukraine protesters 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.400 swarming of vermon skivers. He's got young family and he 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.600 wanted to take him for a weekend skiing. Guy can't 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:55.160 even go skiing. It's ridiculous. And anyway, so one little 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.960 factoid that we learn. Michael Goodwin, writing for The New 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.840 York Post, delivered a pretty bomb show report yesterday that 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.960 President Zolensky, before he met with the President on Friday, 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:10.080 he met with a group of congressional Democrats. He also 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:14.240 met with ten US senators and it's his belief that 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:19.160 these Democrats sabotage these peace negotiations. And before meeting with 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:23.600 the Zolensky before meeting with Trump. Rather, Zolensky met with 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.880 these anti Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.440 terms of the mineral deal that the president was offering. 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:34.360 According to Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, just finished the 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:38.400 meeting with President Zelensky, he confirmed that the Ukrainian people 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.560 will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:46.040 everything he wants and there is no security arrangements for Ukraine. 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.640 That was phase three, the negotiated settlement. Phase one was 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.360 the mineral deal that was supposed to happen. That was 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:56.080 supposed to be a predetermined outcome. It's the third time 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.000 Zelensky said he'd do it, and the third time he 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.520 backed away from it. Case you're counting now. Forty minutes 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:07.160 later after this meeting and Zolensky arrives at the White House, 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.200 he President Trump goes out to meet him, and we 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.880 all know what happened thereafter. The earlier meeting with Democrats 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.000 undercuts wild claims that Trump and President van stage in Ambush. 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.720 I know for a fact that wasn't. This was a 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.520 predetermined outcome meeting, which happens all the time on the 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:29.080 international stage, was supposed to be predetermined they were gonna 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.480 shake hands and they were gonna, you know, smile, and 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.120 they're gonna go sign the rare earth mineral deal. The 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.280 next push was going to be for ceasefire, and Zolensky 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.880 was supposed to say he would support a ceasefire so 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.320 they can have a negotiated settlement. That didn't happen. That 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:47.880 was a missed opportunity. Scott Bessent revealed Zolensky turned down 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:52.240 two earlier opportunities to sign this rare earth mineral deal 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.719 with the US, and he was given a chance in 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.680 Kiev by him once in Munich and Secretary of State 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:03.360 Mark or Rubio. And anyway, Thescent went all the way 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.360 to Kiev because he thought it was important the president 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.240 send him back there, you know, because of the shared 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:14.160 economic interest. And they had a private meeting, you know, 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.920 and at one point they wouldn't even they wouldn't even 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.000 wake the guy up for a meeting. And he sat there, 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:22.880 sat there, sat there, and then finally sent him out 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.000 of here. And why should he say, but he was 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.520 supposed to sign it. That was the predetermined outcome or 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.760 what there was supposed to be. At the end of 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.200 the meeting, he said I'm not signing this. I said 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.520 at the end of the meeting, do you want to 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.640 go out and tell the press? He said, uh, because 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.560 I don't want to go out and show the Russians 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.720 that there's daylight between us. And he said, well, I'm 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.600 going to go out and say I'll sign it in Munich. 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.800 That didn't happen anyway. So and by the way, if 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.480 you want to know where the Ukrainian people are, we've 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:56.640 got a poll number, you know, out from November. Callup 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.440 polled the people of Ukraine on whether they want to 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.679 keep fighting Russia versus ending the war now with the 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:07.640 negotiated settlement by a fourteen point whopping majority. The people 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.480 of Ukraine want the war to end through negotiations. And 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.360 as far as the American people, Gallup had a plurality 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.360 of Americans that support a quick end to this Ukrainian war, 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.600 even if it means Russia gets to keep some of 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.520 the territory they now occupy, which probably would have been 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.480 part And I brought this up in my interview with him. 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.040 You know, you're not going to be a member of NATO. 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.800 But the President was open to European troops being on 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.680 Ukrainian soil and the business relationship with the US would 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.760 be a pretty powerful message. So we're going to find 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.560 out what happens, Tulsea gabbered. The new DNI director you know, 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.840 pointed out Zelenski has canceled elections, taken over the media, 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.240 imprisoned opponents, and shut down churches. This guy not exactly, 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.520 you know, mister Pope innocent here by the way, I 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.840 know the Pope is on a ventilator and our prayers 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.920 are with him and anybody that's sick for that matter. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:04.440 Not fun the White House now, Democrats, he's become He's 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:08.600 an arm of the Kremlin. He's a putent puppet. This 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.080 is the most ridiculous thing ever. Why don't you call 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:15.199 him evil and Hitler and Mussolini and Stalin? Because, as 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:20.120 the President explained on Friday, okay, I'll follow the idiotic, 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.960 dopey media's pressure and give in and call Putin names. 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.880 That's what Joe Biden did for years. How did that 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.079 work out? And then he ended up funding a proxy 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.200 war with the US that has cost US hundreds of 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.319 billions of dollars. You know, Donald Trump's trying to make 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:40.680 peace here to save Ukraine from total destruction and to 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:45.120 end the death. And maybe maybe Speaker Johnson's right, maybe 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.560 Zelensky's not up to that job. I don't know. Well, 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:55.080 we'll find out soon enough. Well, no, well know, this 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.600 is a sad story. I mean, I guess now the 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.960 president until and the President's going to address the name 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:05.200 should amid the Ukraine uncertainty. And he really was very 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:10.600 he was very short on Friday when he said that 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:15.080 he can come back when he wants peace. I don't 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.440 think that message is going to change. And of course 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.800 we'll hear a lot more at the State of the 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.920 Union addressed tomorrow. We are in DC. We do have 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.400 jd Vance, the Vice President. We'll get a first hand 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.560 a count from him where he thinks this is all going. 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.480 Why why he thinks this devolved into what it evolved into? 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:38.320 Why did Zelensky act this way? And again, this to 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.960 me was supposed to be largely ceremonial. It was not. 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.280 By the way, here's a sad state of affairs. New 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.080 York Post Gallup poll. Thirty three percent of Democrats survey 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.680 said they had a favorable view of Israel. Sixty percent 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:58.840 said they viewed Israel unfavorably. The first time. Ever, a 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.200 Gallup survey showed up majority of members of a main 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.800 US political party having a negative opinion of the Jewish State. 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.840 I say to anybody, any of the respondents here, what 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:17.120 part of murder, rape, kidnapping, torture, beheading did you not 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.280 understand what happened on our coverer of the seventh The 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:24.520 equivalent of forty thousand Americans died in a day. What 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:28.000 are you missing here? All right? Quick break from the swamp. 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:42.840 Jdvans tonight on Hannity. We'll continue when fake news gives 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:49.120 you lies, Hannity supplies the truth. Sean Hannity is on 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.600 right now, all right, twenty five now till the top 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.520 of the hour. Eight hundred ninety four one shown is 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.400 on number. You want to be a part of the program, 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:02.000 as we come to you from the capital, our nation's capital. No, 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:03.560 you don't get a point for that. By the way, 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.200 as we come to you for a nation's capital. We're here. 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.240 We're going to have Vice President JD. Van's on tonight 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.160 to talk about his first hand experience on Friday in 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.640 the Oval Office with President Trump and Zelensky in the 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:21.320 showdown that took place, and also my prediction. We'll get 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:25.560 to that in a second. I love to cook. I 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.840 find cooking and relaxing. I have a very specific but 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.080 simple diet, so now it's pretty easy. And that is 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:36.280 basically meat and eggs and occasional fish. That's my diet. 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.120 That's it. Maybe once in a while somebody will give 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.320 me a little chicken soup and I'll sip the broth 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.440 whether I want it or not. But anyway, I love 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.200 to cook to perfection. And when I would cook occasionally, 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.160 if I messed up, I would be so mad at myself. 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.160 I'd be so upset. You know, you cook a juicy steak, 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.800 you want a burger? I like. I like everything medium 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.000 are plus. That's how I like it.

I find it 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:50.679 fascinating that Steak and Shake announced a major changed changed 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:54.800 to the Shoestring Fries and they said it's part of 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.520 the make America Healthy Again movement. And instead of using 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.000 vegetable oil the healthiest oil, you're much better with olive 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:08.200 oil or avocado oil, just healthier anyway. They broke the news. 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:13.040 By March first, all locations fries are going to be RFKD. 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:17.080 I think that's pretty cool.

It's actually pretty 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:27.560 cool and it's different. But I'm not going to tell you. 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.159 I don't want to tell you this is really a 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:30.760 bad radio. 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:31.359 You know that, right? 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:32.119 Yeah? Probably. 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.640 I love when people say, hey, you know that thinging, Oh, 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:37.560 never mind, never mind. 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:38.800 I was just a kidding. I'm not going to tell you. 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:39.240 How you done. 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:39.760 Never mind. 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.120 Glad to see you're back in a good mood. 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:42.320 I'm always in a good mood. 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.359 That is a false statement, that is fake news. That 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:46.440 is true. 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.520 Flowers and sunshine all day long. It's up to you 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:49.439 to smell and see it. 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:51.800 That's your choice, Blair. 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:53.920 I I you know, there's. 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:55.320 A reason Blair doesn't have a microphone. 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.439 I'm pulling out the challenge flag and that's five points 0:19:58.440 --> 0:19:58.679 to me. 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:03.240 It's under review plus Switzerland. 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.800 So I will tell you this, what do we expect 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:11.199 from the State of the Union tomorrow night? And I 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:15.080 think you're going to see a President Trump that is 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:21.119 championing the very agenda that he ran on. He is 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:25.120 going to champion, for the good of this country, the 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:31.040 policies that will give us the greatest course correction in 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:34.199 the modern error. This is where I keep saying, he 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.880 has the opportunity to be to be the most transformational, 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:44.119 consequential president in the last hundred plus years, if he 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:50.080 if he is able to successfully get Republicans, because I'm 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.760 not I'm assuming Democrats are just going to hate on him, 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:56.040 but if he can get for the sake of the 0:20:56.040 --> 0:21:01.520 American people, the Republican Party to stand true to principles 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:07.399 of constitutional order, limited government, greater freedom. If he fulfills 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:11.080 his promise to secure our borders and get rid of 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:18.440 known terrorists, gang members, cartel members, murderers, rapists, violent criminals, 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:23.480 and people that are harming our fellow citizens. That will 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:26.359 be a dramatic shift from where we have been the 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.919 last four years. You know, if he's going to continue 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:33.439 to identify tens and tens and tens of billions of 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:38.440 dollars in waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption, that is going 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:43.520 to benefit every single American. We ought not be advancing 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:49.919 the radical green new leftist deal worldwide and promoting and 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:57.840 paying billions of dollars for DEI programs, wokeism, transgenderism, LGBTQ 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:02.840 plus while the American people have nearly forty trillion dollars 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:08.280 in debt. We're stealing from our children and grandchildren, and 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:12.560 we've got to be better stewards of their money and 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:15.879 for the sake of our children. Also, we need to 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:20.040 bring back law and order and safety and security and 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:24.320 eliminate the madness of no bail laws and this insanity 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:28.040 of defund and dismantled police, no refund them. 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:29.760 Who do you think is right in the speech? Who 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:30.920 do you think the speech writers are? 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:33.760 I'm sure Trump does it himself. I bet you ad 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:34.600 libs half of it. 0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:36.679 What do you think that he'll hit tomorrow night? What 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:37.000 do you think? 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.600 I think everything Like. I think he's gonna hit everything 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.120 that he's said on the campaign trail. That is my prediction. 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:46.480 And I think he's going to give examples and of 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:50.360 exactly what it is that he's doing. And I think 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:52.680 when he goes directly to the American people, this is 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:54.600 gonna be highly viewed tomorrow night. Its gonna be a 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:58.479 big deal, and Democrats will do their usual sulk. I mean, 0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.160 we even have an article out today that we have 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:06.200 their plans. Rank and file Democrats are shrugging off HACKEM. 0:23:06.280 --> 0:23:10.360 Jeffries and Chucky Schumer's directive to use the president's address 0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:17.240 to showcase democratic resistance. Resistance to what Waltz. Voters don't see. 0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:22.040 Democrats are inviting He's so dumb. He's like the dumbest 0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:25.400 guy on earth. Jeffries and Schumer want members to attend 0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:28.639 the speech. Some are not going to intend. You know, 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:31.680 it's I want to go in their plaze. I'll take 0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:35.280 their seat, you could, you know. Chris Murphy said he's 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:38.000 leaning against attending because when Trump does it it's not 0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.840 a serious event. Okay. Other lawmakers said they will take 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:46.439 their spouses as is common. And you know, nearly a 0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:49.840 dozen House and Senate Democrats said they are leaning against attending. 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.679
